Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 101 Abolition of Prisons
Zefa has returned.

As for the naval guerrillas who left with Zefa, Akainu naturally wanted to let that elite soldier return to the ranks of the regular army.

It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't have time to gather and take a rest together.

Now, many days later, Zefa's disciples Ain, who has retrograde fruit abilities, and Binzi, the lush fruit ninja, returned to the naval headquarters before the marshal's inauguration ceremony with more than 1000 guerrilla members.

What greeted them was Shuzuo, a former guerrilla comrade and a powerful and domineering member of the Nagashou clan.

on the pier.

Ai Yin felt awkward looking at Xiu Zuo who was now wearing a navy justice coat.

"This is not like your style, Xiu Zuo. Where was that unruly energy back then? Was it tamed so easily?"

"Huh!" Xiu Zuo turned around, "I'm just following Teacher Zefa."

Ai Yin, who was wearing a blue cloak, had a slightly ironic smile on his face, "What if Teacher Zefa chooses to run away again?"

"Of course..." Xiu Zuo turned his head and was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he was being tricked when he saw Ai Yin laughing out loud.

"Stop playing such childish tricks!"

"Hahahahaha, I just love to see you talk so hard." Ai Yin laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright.

"Lush! Lush!" Binz clapped his hands and danced happily around the two of them.

As the three elite disciples who followed Zefa together, they fought side by side through thick and thin. Even if some were extreme, some were gentle, and some were confused, the relationship between the three goes without saying.

Brigadier General Xiu En, who was wearing a turban, stood aside and looked at the three of them with envy.

When Ai Yin saw Xiu En, she naturally recognized that the masked young man was the officer who came to convey Akainu's kindness, and he seemed to be a disciple of Zefa.

Seeing Ai Yin sizing up Xiu En, Xiu Zuo introduced him proactively: "This is Brigadier Xiu En. He is actually quite a good person. He has great potential after eating the rotten fruit. Now follow me to learn domineering."

Xiu En waved his hand, embarrassed to be praised: "It's rust, decay or something is not so exaggerated."

Xiu Zuo: "It's almost the same. There's no guarantee that Devil Fruits will be so imaginative and unimaginable. It still depends on the ability user's own understanding and development."

Ain nodded with deep sympathy. Since the last time Marshal Secretary Turan mocked "the weak eat the strong fruit" and accused the development of the wrong direction, she has been reflecting on her use of the retrogressive fruit.

Xiu Zuo: "Okay, let's settle the brothers first, and then go to meet the Marshal and Teacher Zefa together."

Everyone agrees.

……

……

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to control the situation and what will happen if the entire army riots?"

"So we will hold a meeting with the lieutenant generals this afternoon. One is to test their bottom line of acceptance so that they can be mentally prepared. The other is to get the consent of most senior officers. Porusalino has no problem."

"Over there with Garp from the Warring States Period..."

"Teacher, wait a minute, someone is here. Let's talk later."

Marshal's Office.

The conversation between Akainu and Zefa came to an abrupt end when Shusa Ain and his party arrived.

"Teacher Zefa!"

Ai Yin was the first to cry out impatiently and ran to Zefa to observe the teacher's appearance.

When I saw the teacher taking off his sunglasses and replacing them with glasses, he no longer felt angry or violent, but returned to the gentle and friendly person he was when they first met him.

"Teacher Zefa..." Ai Yin held Zefa's hand and cried uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying, I'm not well." Zefa patted Ain's head warmly.

On the other side, Binz was also sniffling.

Although they are willing to follow Zefa to destroy the world without regrets, they still prefer to see Zefa return to his original appearance.

"Look at your potential!" Xiu Zuo crossed his arms disdainfully.Because he had been following Zefa, he didn't feel much about the changes in Zefa's temperament before and after.

Ai Yin had no time to talk to Xiu Zuo at this time. Her soft feminine heart still had many things to say to her mentor.

"Everyone, let's talk about some serious business. We can talk about the past in private."

Akainu interrupted the warm scene between master and apprentice, not because of ruthlessness, but because time was tight and there was no time to talk about this in the office.

And Akainu's words, combined with his status as marshal, instantly gave Ain Xiuzuo and others an invisible pressure.

Akainu was sitting in the middle, and Zefa also returned to his seat, next to Akainu.

With the consciousness of being soldiers, Ai Yin, Xiu Zuo, Binz, and Xiu En immediately lined up and stood respectfully in front of Akainu Zefa.

"First of all, congratulations on your return to the Navy Headquarters. The determined guerrilla members you brought will become a solid force in the new navy. As the Navy Marshal, I sincerely thank you."

Akainu's opening conversation weakened the depressive and serious atmosphere in the office a lot.

Then, Akainu turned his attention to the beautiful woman Ain, who was beautiful on the outside, but in his heart the last thing he wanted to see was Zefa's extreme destruction.

"Although you are powerful and have defeated Xiu Zuo in a duel, you are not suitable for fighting on the front line. I have decided to grant you the rank of brigadier general and serve as deputy director of the reformed Navy Medical Department."

Xiu Zuo looked unhappy when he mentioned that he was defeated by Ai Yin in a duel.Ai Yin expressed embarrassment: "Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs? I don't know much about medical skills."

Akainu: "You don't need to know medical skills, and I won't let you manage the chores of the medical department. I mainly want to maximize your abilities."

Zefa intervened in a timely manner. He and Akainu had already discussed the arrangements for these elite disciples who had returned from the guerrillas.

"Ai Yin, although your ability and domineering power are useless to the strong, for ordinary soldiers, your ability is a miracle. It can help them get rid of the diseases caused by the degradation of their body functions and allow them to return to the battlefield. ."

Akainu nodded: "Yes, especially those veterans whose martyrs are still full of ambition in their twilight years. You can give them a new life, which will be a great supplement to the naval power."

"So Brigadier General Ain asked me, are you willing to become the deputy medical minister and contribute your strength to the new navy?"

Ayin looked at Akainu's serious face, then at the gentle smile of his mentor Zefa, and replied firmly: "I am willing."

"Welcome."

Hearing this answer, Akainu smiled, then turned his attention to Ninja Binz, and first asked: "Are you a real ninja? Are you from the country of Wano?"

Binz: "I am a genuine ninja. I don't know where I came from. I have been drifting on the sea with my uncle since I can remember. Later, my uncle died. I was accidentally rescued by Teacher Zefa and joined the navy."

"Then you should come from Wano country, unless there are other countries in this world that also produce ninjas." Akainu said casually.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Binz became extremely concerned about where he came from.Where is the country of Wano?what is the place?
Akainu returned to the topic: "Binz, I have decided to grant you the rank of colonel in the Navy Headquarters. At the same time, your ability is also auxiliary. This ability allows plants to grow instantly. If combined with the Sensen Fruit, you will green the entire world, which will be beneficial to the world." Restoration after the war was of great use.”

"The Navy will later establish a Ministry of Environmental Protection to improve the harsh environment in some parts of the world. You will be the deputy minister but not now. If it is now..."

Akainu looked at Xiu Zuo again, suddenly remembered something and teased: "Speaking of which, I took a devil fruit from you and haven't paid you yet."

Hearing the marshal suddenly mention this, Shuzuo was shaken physically and mentally. What he did at the beginning was against the procedures, and now he is even more afraid of Akainu, who is about to become the supreme commander of the navy, to be blamed.

Xiu Zuo denied loudly: "There is no such thing! The loot from fighting pirates should have been handed over, and it is best to leave it to the marshal for disposal. I have no objection. I also ask the marshal not to blame me for the ridiculous things I did when I was a guerrilla."

Akainu was amused by Shuzuo, "I have already said that things about the guerrillas should be forgotten, but for that Devil Fruit, I will also give you some compensation as a military merit reward, but not that much."

Hearing that there would be rewards for not pursuing the matter, Xiu Zuo naturally agreed.

And Akainu never thought of giving money when he took the fruit. At that time, if he didn't think of Zefa's face, he even wanted to kill Shuzuo who repeatedly obstructed him.

But later on, Shuzuo changed his attitude very quickly and was very aware of current affairs. Akainu recognized that he was also determined to kill pirates, so he lost his murderous intention.

"Now let's talk about your new position." Akainu said seriously: "I said before on Silver Mine Island that if you perform well, your military rank will be promoted, and Lieutenant General Dauberman did praise you afterwards, so Brigadier General Shuzu, In the name of naval justice, I now officially confer on you the rank of rear admiral."

"Yes! Marshal!" Xiu Zuo gave a loud military salute, very excited.A high position in the navy was his initial pursuit.

But Akainu felt uncomfortable in his heart.Otherwise, the promotion of military ranks in the Navy lacks a sacred sense of mission and necessary procedural rituals.

Except for the two military ranks of marshal and general, the World Government does not care much about other military ranks, even lieutenant generals, otherwise there would not be a huge strength gap between lieutenant generals.

Excluding veteran lieutenant generals like Garp who deliberately refused to be promoted and took no responsibility, even among ordinary lieutenant generals, the gap can be as big as a sky or an earth.

The strong one dares to confront the four emperors and overpower the so-called emperor's deputy, while the weak one can be teased by the Shichibukai's average A, and beaten to the ground by a punch without domineering strength.

And this is proof of the chaos. There is no standard promotion process within the navy. The World Government does not interfere with the middle and low-level military ranks. Promotion or not is entirely up to the commander.

Akainu doesn't want the new navy to be like this. He wants to design a standard, rigorous and streamlined organizational system for the navy.

At least the most basic ones, upgrades must rely on solid military merit, and at the same time, military ranks must be separated from clear duties, which can be used to attack old officers who are occupying the pit and deprive them of their rights.

Back to the present, after Akainu promoted Shuzuo's military rank, he also wanted to give him clear real power.

"Xiu Zuo, Binz, and Xiu En, I can now tell you a little bit about the navy's military reform. You will use the current naval guerrillas as the backbone to form a new naval army, temporarily numbered seventh. Army, Xiu Zuo is temporarily appointed as the army commander, and Xiu En and Binz are temporarily appointed as deputy army commanders."

"Seventh Army!?" Xiuzuo and the other three said in unison.

Akainu: "Yes, the military rank will be just a false position in the future, a title of honor. The real military command will be handed over to capable people after the reform. I am optimistic about you, so I will give you a legion."

Xiu Zuo, Xiu En, and Binz flushed with excitement. They did not expect that the marshal valued them so much and wanted to hand over part of the actual command of the army into their hands.

"I will live up to my trust, Marshal!" The three of them saluted in unison.

Akainu remained calm: "Yes, but this matter cannot be made public yet. You just need to know first. I will not officially announce and implement the military reform until after the marshal's inauguration ceremony."

The three of them expressed that they knew the stakes and fully agreed.

So, Akainu chatted with them about some things related to the guerrillas, and learned that they had brought over the prison staff and prisoners of the guerrillas.

When it comes to Ramodo, the warden of the guerrilla prison, that sultry gentleman in a pink suit, Akainu also has a crush on him and says he will talk to him another day.

Then, there was nothing else, Akainu let them leave first.

Zefa also left first to arrange a meeting with the lieutenant general in advance.

The time came to noon at this time.

Someone sent the food from the cafeteria to Akainu's office. After he had eaten, someone finally came to report that Turan was back. Also arriving with him were the director and deputy director of Impel Prison.

Finally, before the meeting with the Lieutenant General in the afternoon, we waited for their arrival.Akainu gathered his thoughts and faced it with full mental strength.

Soon.

The world's largest prison located in the deep sea, known as Impel Prison with iron walls, Director Hannibal and Deputy Director Magellan, led by Secretary Turan, came to Navy Marshal Akainu.

"Welcome both of you." Akainu stood up to greet him.

Hannibal and Magellan were not arrogant either. Their initial defensiveness disappeared under Akainu's proactive overtures.

"Hannibal, the Director of Imper Prison, has seen Marshal Akainu!" Hannibal, who is not a soldier, even saluted Akainu with a little reverence in his eyes.

This made Magellan also had to salute.

"Sit down." Akainu smiled all over his face, because he liked the two of them, especially Hannibal.

Hannibal was one of the few people in the original timeline who dared to point out to his face that Wang Lufei was a thief who put the world at risk for his own selfishness, or that as long as he lived a happy life, the life and death of everyone in the world was none of his business.

Unfortunately, Hannibal was weak and could not stop Wang Lufei from wreaking havoc in the city and releasing all the vicious prisoners in the prison to harm the people.

It was also because of this incident that Magellan, the original director of the prison, felt that he had sinned deeply. His strong sense of responsibility made him want to commit suicide and thank the world, but he failed in the end because of the strict supervision of everyone.

However, Magellan also took the initiative to apply for demotion, so Hannibal, the original deputy director, took over the position.

Therefore, Akainu has high hopes for these two people and wants to make good use of their will and power.

suddenly!

The normally good Magellan's expression changed.

"Sorry! I'm so rude, but I really couldn't help it!"

Magellan, who ate the poisonous fruit, looked like a devil with two horns, and suddenly spewed out a large amount of purple poisonous gas from every pore of his body.

"No, marshal, put on the gas mask!" Turan immediately took out a gas mask and handed it to Akainu, and at the same time quickly put it on himself.

Hannibal put on the gas mask tacitly and rolled his eyes: "Didn't you say you could hold it back? Cheer up, this is in front of Marshal Akainu, Deputy Director."

"I'm really sorry." Magellan felt ashamed, but he really couldn't control his poisonous gas. In an instant, the dense poisonous gas covered the entire office like a fog.

Akainu wanted to resist, test his poison resistance, and see if his magma fire could burn away the poisonous gas.The result is yes, the poison gas cannot corrode Akainu, the magma man.

"Hey! Marshal, are you okay? Ah, poison gas can also be burned." Turan thought in surprise.

"But it's still poisonous after burning. I can't help you." Akainu looked a little regretful.

"No! Where is the bathroom? I want the toilet!!" Magellan, who had just released the poison gas, felt his stomach was acting up again.

Hannibal felt collapsed: "I shouldn't have let you come with me, you are suitable to stay in the deep sea prison forever." He was too embarrassed to say to Akainu: "Marshal, Magellan has a special fruit, and you have to squat for 10 hours every day. On the toilet."

"That's too hard, Turan, take Magellan to the bathroom quickly." Akainu also felt helpless about the side effects of the poisonous fruit.

Magellan was taken to the bathroom by Turan, and he didn't know how long it would take to come back.After losing the source of the poisonous gas and the poisonous gas that had been released, Akainu used the fist wind to send them all out, from the side facing the sea.

"It's too uncomfortable." Hannibal took off his gas mask and gasped.

"You and Magellan have been in prison for so many years, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Akainu sat down again.

"Who is used to this?"

Hannibal also sat down to drink tea, but found that the tea had been contaminated by poisonous gas.Akainu immediately asked someone to replace it with a new one.

"We don't have much time. We have a meeting with the lieutenant generals later, so I'll get straight to the point."

"Okay. In fact, I have always admired the Marshal, so I agree with everything you say, Marshal. Oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking."

Hannibal sipped his new tea.He can't hide what's in his heart is the true side of his character. At the beginning, he often said in front of Magellan that he wanted to be the director, and now he has finally replaced him as he wished.

Akainu smiled, not hating Hannibal's small problem, and said: "The Navy has a proposal to use heavy codes in troubled times, so I want to ask your prison staff for their opinions."

"What proposal?" Hannibal felt inexplicably nervous because of Akainu's fiery eyes.

"Abolish the prison. From now on, any pirate caught will be sentenced to death regardless of the crime he committed. What do your prisons think of this proposal?"

"This……"

Hannibal was completely stunned. He never expected that Marshal Akainu would use such cruel methods.

Abolish prisons?No need for trial?Immediate death penalty!
This left Hannibal, who had just become the world's first prison director, unable to answer.
